- I have a self built/modified Woodworker X50, and almost exclusively cut aluminum - hobby use only without the demands of a business in terms of production or efficiencies.
I built my table from heavy wall 8020 extrusion with a 1/2" cast aluminum plate on top. My fixtures/vises fasten to a 18"X18" X 2.25" aluminum block that is bolted to the plate. I am set up for mist cooling, but mill dry (like you earlier… for now). I rarely fasten to MDF but do occasionally depending on the project and material.
